David Courtney Evans died Sunday March 9, 2025, at his home Orchard House in Ligonier, Pennsylvania after a brief illness. David was born October 1, 1945, to John Duncan, Jr. and Virginia Evans of Pittsburgh. He attended Shady Side Academy, St. Paul's School and University of Pennsylvania.  After graduating from Penn, David enlisted in the Army, serving as an ambulance driver with tours of duty in Okinawa and the Philippines.  He spent winters in Aspen and was an accomplished skier, who stood out from the crowd by always wearing a blue, one piece mechanic's outfit from a local garage. David is survived by his sister Margaret (John) Tuten of Philadelphia. His brother John Duncan Evans lll (Vernelle), a Presbyterian minister, died in 2015. David was very close to his sister Gerry's children: John and Alex Tuten and their children Jack and Maddie; Gigi and Caleb Kuhnmunch and their children Jack, Wills, and Molly; and Ginna and Mike Welsh and their children Sophia and Danny.  He loved to take the children tubing on his boat ‘Jade’ in Nantucket Sound. 

David was also close to his brother's children, John Paul Evans of England and Faith Evans-Sills of South Carolina. David always enjoyed spending Christmases with Faith and her husband, Frank, and their children, Jasper, Carys, and Griffin. David was somewhat of a trickster and he loved to play games with the children and taught them to juggle, at which he was proficient. 

David's favorite places were  Aspen, Ligonier, and Hyannis Port.  He enjoyed driving across the country visiting friends. He was an avid Porsche-lover, owning various models from age 18 until he died. Although a very private man, he was extremely generous and had many friendships all over the country.  David was a longstanding member of the Hyannisport Club and The Beach Club of Craigville, MA and other clubs in Pittsburgh. David will be  missed by all that were lucky to have known him. He was a caring, concerned and compassionate person. There will be a graveside service on Saturday March 22, 2025 at 10:30 am at the Homewood Cemetery in Pittsburgh, PA. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Union Chapel of Hyannis Port (PO Box 491, Hyannis Port, MA 02647). Arrangements by John A. Freyvogel Sons, Inc. (freyvogelfuneralhome.com)
